Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital 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.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.
