Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. 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 measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
