It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Children frequently underestimate the importance of resting and drinking fluids. Thirst is a symptom of advanced dehydration - hence the need to hydrate regularly, especially during protracted physical exercises.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
