Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
