Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.
