Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. With excessive moisture in the atmosphere, the effectiveness of the evaporation process is decreased, causing the body to cool down less efficiently, leading to a sensation of overheating. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
