Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. 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.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. With a lot of moisture in the air, the evaporation process is not as effective, and the body does not cool down as efficiently, creating a perception of overheating. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
