Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.
