Heat index

Be informed that the heat index values are oriented around shady conditions and gentle breezes. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. Accumulating heat beyond the body's cooling measures leads to rising temperatures and potential ailments.
