This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.
