Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. When the air holds a significant amount of moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process is decreased, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently, leading to the sensation of overheating. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.
