Heat index

Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
