Heat index

Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.
