Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
