Be informed that the heat index values are oriented around shady conditions and gentle breezes. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.
