Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.
