It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
One of the main methods the human body employs to cool down is by perspiring, as this process allows sweat to evaporate and remove excess heat. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.
