Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. 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 are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.
