Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. The influence of weather is personal, with varied individuals experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical exertion levels. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.
