Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.
