Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. A person's impression of weather can be swayed by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
