Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.
