The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. Excessive relative humidity disturbs the body's typical cooling process by reducing evaporation, leading to a decrease in body cooling rate and an increase in the sensation of warmth. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
