Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.
