Persistent activity under exposure might lead to a feeling of weariness, with subsequent heat cramps.Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth.
