It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
Humans rely on perspiration as a cooling mechanism, wherein the evaporating sweat counteracts excessive warmth. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.
