Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
Perspiration, which is the evaporation of sweat, is a primary way the human body manages and dispels excessive warmth. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. When the body's heat gain surpasses its removal capacity, body temperature starts to climb, leading to potential heat-related ailments.
