Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. With excessive moisture in the atmosphere, the effectiveness of the evaporation process is decreased, causing the body to cool down less efficiently, leading to a sensation of overheating. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.
