Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.
