Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. An individual's perception of weather can be influenced by a variety of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their degree of physical exertion. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.
