Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. With an abundance of moisture present in the air, the process of evaporation becomes less effective, and the body fails to cool down as it should, leading to the sensation of overheating. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.
