It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. The heat index can potentially augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. 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.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.
