Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
The innate cooling system of the human body revolves around perspiration, with the evaporation of sweat being central to this process. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
