Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
