Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.
