Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.
