Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Children frequently underestimate the importance of resting and drinking fluids. Thirst is a symptom of advanced dehydration - hence the need to hydrate regularly, especially during protracted physical exercises.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. 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. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
