Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. 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. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.
