Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. 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.
When faced with excessive heat, the human body begins to perspire, utilizing the cooling benefits of sweat evaporation. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.
