Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital 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.
For the human body, perspiration is the go-to method to regulate temperature, using sweat's evaporation to dissipate warmth. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.
