It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.
