Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are highly important for children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. With an abundance of moisture present in the air, the process of evaporation becomes less effective, and the body fails to cool down as it should, leading to the sensation of overheating. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.
