Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. 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. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.
