Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Juveniles often do not understand the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a delayed symptom of dehydration - hence, it is vital to maintain hydration, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.
