Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
