It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. It is essential to be conscious of the fact that direct sunlight can intensify the felt heat, leading to an elevation in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
