Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. 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.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. With a lot of moisture in the air, the evaporation process is not as effective, and the body does not cool down as efficiently, creating a perception of overheating. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.
