Heat index

Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Juveniles are regularly less conscious of the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a tardy symptom of dehydration - hydration, especially during lengthy physical activities, should be maintained.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. With a lot of moisture in the air, the evaporation process is not as effective, and the body does not cool down as efficiently, creating a perception of overheating. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.
