Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. 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.
Evaporating sweat is a key way the human body dispels excessive warmth, all thanks to the process of perspiration. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
