Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
