Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. 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 human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.
