Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
When it comes to cooling down, the human body's primary method is through perspiration, making use of sweat evaporation to eliminate excess heat. When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.
