Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
Humans rely on perspiration as a cooling mechanism, wherein the evaporating sweat counteracts excessive warmth. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.
