Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Young ones generally face higher dangers than adults since they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface area compared totheir small bodies and increased heat production from their activities, the risks are heightened.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
