Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. An elevated level of relative humidity hinders evaporation, leading to decreased heat elimination from the body, inducing a sensation of excess heat. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.
