It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of 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 especially vital to children. Youngsters frequently overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is an advanced sign of dehydration - thereby highlighting the importance of keeping hydrated, particularly during long physical activities.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
