Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. 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. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.
