Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one'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 are quite important for children. 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.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
