Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
