Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
