Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. An individual's perception of weather can be influenced by a variety of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their degree of physical exertion. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. When there is abundant moisture in the air, the body's cooling through the evaporation process becomes less effective, leading to the sensation of overheating. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.
