Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, 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 kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.
