Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. 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. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.
