Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. 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.
