Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
Evaporating sweat is a key way the human body dispels excessive warmth, all thanks to the process of perspiration. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
