Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. When the body's heat gain surpasses its removal capacity, body temperature starts to climb, leading to potential heat-related ailments.
