Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
One of the main methods the human body employs to cool down is by perspiring, as this process allows sweat to evaporate and remove excess heat. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
