Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
