Heat index

It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. Excessive relative humidity disturbs the body's typical cooling process by reducing evaporation, leading to a decrease in body cooling rate and an increase in the sensation of warmth. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.
