Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
