Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. A person's impression of weather can be swayed by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.
