Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. 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.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. With excessive moisture in the atmosphere, the effectiveness of the evaporation process is decreased, causing the body to cool down less efficiently, leading to a sensation of overheating. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.
