Heat index

Heat index details are generally centered around shaded locations and a mild breeze. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.
