It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.

Humidity

In May, the average relative humidity is 83%.
