Sustained activity might cause heatstroke.In reference to the heat index, it's for places in shade and with a slight wind. The heat index could experience an increase of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.
