Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.
