Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. An individual's perception of weather can be influenced by a variety of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their degree of physical exertion. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.
