Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.
