Heat index

Records show heat index calculations are tailored for shaded regions and mild 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 'real feel', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
