Heat index

Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.
