Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. With excessive moisture in the atmosphere, the effectiveness of the evaporation process is decreased, causing the body to cool down less efficiently, leading to a sensation of overheating. Accumulating heat beyond the body's cooling measures leads to rising temperatures and potential ailments.
