Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. With excessive moisture in the atmosphere, the effectiveness of the evaporation process is decreased, causing the body to cool down less efficiently, leading to a sensation of overheating. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
