Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 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. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are especially vital to 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.
Through perspiration, the body has a natural mechanism to eliminate excessive heat via sweat evaporation. With an abundance of moisture present in the air, the process of evaporation becomes less effective, and the body fails to cool down as it should, leading to the sensation of overheating. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.
