Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.
