Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. The impression of weather on a person can be swayed by additional aspects, including metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. 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 are of high significance for children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. When there is abundant moisture in the air, the body's cooling through the evaporation process becomes less effective, leading to the sensation of overheating. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
