Heat index

Records show heat index calculations are tailored for shaded regions and mild 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', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
For the human body, perspiration is the go-to method to regulate temperature, using sweat's evaporation to dissipate warmth. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.
