Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance 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.
Perspiration is the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.
