Exhaustion becomes probable with enduring exposure and activity, potentially causing heat cramps.Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
