Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. 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 extremely significant for children. 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 human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.
