Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
Perspiration, which is the evaporation of sweat, is a primary way the human body manages and dispels excessive warmth. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.
