Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. 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.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.
