One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
