Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
One of the main methods the human body employs to cool down is by perspiring, as this process allows sweat to evaporate and remove excess heat. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.
