Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
