Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. The influence of weather is personal, with varied individuals experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical exertion levels. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.
