Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
Perspiring is a crucial mechanism for the human body, allowing it to release excessive warmth through evaporating sweat. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
