Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. You should know that direct sun exposure can heighten weather effects, potentially elevating the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
One of the main methods the human body employs to cool down is by perspiring, as this process allows sweat to evaporate and remove excess heat. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.
