Heat index

Beware: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are very likely. Heatstroke is imminent with prolonged activity.
The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
For the human body, perspiration is the go-to method to regulate temperature, using sweat's evaporation to dissipate warmth. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.
