Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. 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 important for 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 innate cooling system of the human body revolves around perspiration, with the evaporation of sweat being central to this process. With an abundance of moisture present in the air, the process of evaporation becomes less effective, and the body fails to cool down as it should, leading to the sensation of overheating. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.
