Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.
