Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
