Heat index

Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. 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.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
