Heat index

Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Children often fail to understand the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - hence, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during ongoing physical activities.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.
