Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
