Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for 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.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
