Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to 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.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.
