Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
Humans rely on perspiration as a cooling mechanism, wherein the evaporating sweat counteracts excessive warmth. When there is abundant moisture in the air, the body's cooling through the evaporation process becomes less effective, leading to the sensation of overheating. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.
