Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
Perspiration, which is the evaporation of sweat, is a primary way the human body manages and dispels excessive warmth. With excessive moisture in the atmosphere, the effectiveness of the evaporation process is decreased, causing the body to cool down less efficiently, leading to a sensation of overheating. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
