The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.
