Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. 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 the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. When the air holds a significant amount of moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process is decreased, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently, leading to the sensation of overheating. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.
