The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
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. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
