Heat index's context suggests values are appropriate for shady areas and slight breezes. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Young ones often disregard the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst usually indicates advanced dehydration - hence, it is key to stay hydrated, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. With excessive moisture in the atmosphere, the effectiveness of the evaporation process is decreased, causing the body to cool down less efficiently, leading to a sensation of overheating. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.
