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 influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. 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 babies and toddlers. 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.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.
