Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.
