Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel.

Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young ones generally face higher dangers than adults since they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface area compared totheir small bodies and increased heat production from their activities, the risks are heightened.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.
