Sustained activity may result in heatstroke.Heat index guidelines indicate values are for light wind scenarios and shaded regions. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Children often do not understand the need to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - therefore, it is essential to stay hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.
