Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.
