Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.
