Factoring in the heat index, values are geared towards shaded areas with light breezes. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. With a high level of moisture in the air, the evaporation process becomes less efficient, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently and resulting in a sensation of overheating. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
