When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. Heat index values can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.
