Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.
