Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. Accumulating heat beyond the body's cooling measures leads to rising temperatures and potential ailments.
