Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and 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 particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. When there is an excess of moisture in the atmosphere, the efficiency of the evaporation process is lessened, leading to less efficient body cooling and a sensation of overheating. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.
