Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.
