Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
Perspiring is a crucial mechanism for the human body, allowing it to release excessive warmth through evaporating sweat. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.
