Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.
