With extended exposure and activity, one might feel exhausted and experience heat cramps.In reference to the heat index, it's for places in shade and with a slight wind. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
