Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. 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. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.
