Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
