Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. 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 hold great significance to children. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.
