Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. A person's impression of weather can be swayed by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. 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 highly important for children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.
