Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.
