Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. 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 particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.
