Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
The innate cooling system of the human body revolves around perspiration, with the evaporation of sweat being central to this process. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.
