Factoring in the heat index, values are geared towards shaded areas with light breezes. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
Evaporating sweat is a key way the human body dispels excessive warmth, all thanks to the process of perspiration. With a lot of moisture in the air, the evaporation process is not as effective, and the body does not cool down as efficiently, creating a perception of overheating. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.
