In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Children often do not understand the need to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - therefore, it is essential to stay hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. When the air holds a significant amount of moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process is decreased, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently, leading to the sensation of overheating. When the body's heat gain surpasses its removal capacity, body temperature starts to climb, leading to potential heat-related ailments.
