Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
Evaporating sweat is a key way the human body dispels excessive warmth, all thanks to the process of perspiration. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.
