Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Children are often less aware of the need to rest and re-hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - it's vital to remain hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
For the human body, perspiration is the go-to method to regulate temperature, using sweat's evaporation to dissipate warmth. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.
