Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
