Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.
