Regarding the heat index, one should be aware it's determined by shaded settings and mild winds. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. With an abundance of moisture present in the air, the process of evaporation becomes less effective, and the body fails to cool down as it should, leading to the sensation of overheating. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.
