Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
Evaporating sweat is a key way the human body dispels excessive warmth, all thanks to the process of perspiration. With excessive moisture in the atmosphere, the effectiveness of the evaporation process is decreased, causing the body to cool down less efficiently, leading to a sensation of overheating. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.
