Heat index

For clarity, heat index numbers account for light winds and areas under shade. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. 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 particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.
