Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. 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 extremely significant for children. Children frequently do not understand the need for recuperation and hydration. Thirst, being a late manifestation of dehydration, underlines the need to hydrate frequently, especially when engaging in prolonged physical exercises.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.
