Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
