It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Children are often less aware of the need to rest and re-hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - it's vital to remain hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. With a lot of moisture in the air, the evaporation process is not as effective, and the body does not cool down as efficiently, creating a perception of overheating. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.
