Heat index

Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
