Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. 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.
One of the main methods the human body employs to cool down is by perspiring, as this process allows sweat to evaporate and remove excess heat. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
