Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. 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 primarily vital for children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.
