Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
