It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
For the human body, perspiration is the go-to method to regulate temperature, using sweat's evaporation to dissipate warmth. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.
