Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance 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 human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.
