Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
One of the main methods the human body employs to cool down is by perspiring, as this process allows sweat to evaporate and remove excess heat. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
