Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. When the air holds a significant amount of moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process is decreased, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently, leading to the sensation of overheating. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.
