It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. 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 'felt air temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.
