Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. Accumulating heat beyond the body's cooling measures leads to rising temperatures and potential ailments.
