Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Be mindful that being in direct sunlight might mean feeling hotter, with the heat index rising by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.
