Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance 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.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.
