Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for 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.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.
