Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Children frequently underestimate the importance of resting and drinking fluids. Thirst is a symptom of advanced dehydration - hence the need to hydrate regularly, especially during protracted physical exercises.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.
