Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
The innate cooling system of the human body revolves around perspiration, with the evaporation of sweat being central to this process. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.
