Heat index

Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. 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 'feels like', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. 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.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
