Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. With excessive moisture in the atmosphere, the effectiveness of the evaporation process is decreased, causing the body to cool down less efficiently, leading to a sensation of overheating. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.
