Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young ones generally face higher dangers than adults since they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface area compared totheir small bodies and increased heat production from their activities, the risks are heightened.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.
