Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
