Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. 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 largely significant for babies and toddlers. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.
