It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
Perspiring is a crucial mechanism for the human body, allowing it to release excessive warmth through evaporating sweat. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.
