Heat index

It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.
