Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
For the human body, perspiration is the go-to method to regulate temperature, using sweat's evaporation to dissipate warmth. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. Accumulating heat beyond the body's cooling measures leads to rising temperatures and potential ailments.
