Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. 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 highly critical to babies and toddlers. 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. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
