Heat index

Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. 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 are particularly relevant to children. Children often overlook the necessity for resting and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is critical to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.
