Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. 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 particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
Perspiration is the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
