Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Be mindful that being in direct sunlight might mean feeling hotter, with the heat index rising by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. 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 and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. 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. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.
