Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.
