Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. 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. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.
