The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.
