Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.
