When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Children frequently do not comprehend the need for rest and hydration. Thirst is an advanced stage of dehydration - staying hydrated, especially during extended physical exercises, is essential.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.
