Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. 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 highly critical for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
Perspiration is the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
