Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
