Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. It is essential to be conscious of the fact that direct sunlight can intensify the felt heat, leading to an elevation in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
