Heat index

Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are quite important for children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. An elevated level of relative humidity hinders evaporation, leading to decreased heat elimination from the body, inducing a sensation of excess heat. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.
