Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant 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.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.
