Heat index

Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. 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 'apparent temperature', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.
