Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
