Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. A person's impression of weather can be swayed by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.
