Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. It is essential to be conscious of the fact that direct sunlight can intensify the felt heat, leading to an elevation in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.
