Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. Be mindful that being in direct sunlight might mean feeling hotter, with the heat index rising by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.
