Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.
