Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. You should know that direct sun exposure can heighten weather effects, potentially elevating the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
