Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
