Heat index

It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.
