Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
