Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
