Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. Accumulating heat beyond the body's cooling measures leads to rising temperatures and potential ailments.
