Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.
