Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess 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. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.
