Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
