Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
The innate cooling system of the human body revolves around perspiration, with the evaporation of sweat being central to this process. When there is an excess of moisture in the atmosphere, the efficiency of the evaporation process is lessened, leading to less efficient body cooling and a sensation of overheating. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.
