Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
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. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.
