The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. With a lot of moisture in the air, the evaporation process is not as effective, and the body does not cool down as efficiently, creating a perception of overheating. When the body's heat gain surpasses its removal capacity, body temperature starts to climb, leading to potential heat-related ailments.
