Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. 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 particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.
