Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are particularly important for children. 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.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.
