Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.
