Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. 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.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.
