Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
Humans rely on perspiration as a cooling mechanism, wherein the evaporating sweat counteracts excessive warmth. An elevated level of relative humidity hinders evaporation, leading to decreased heat elimination from the body, inducing a sensation of excess heat. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
