Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
One of the main methods the human body employs to cool down is by perspiring, as this process allows sweat to evaporate and remove excess heat. An elevated level of relative humidity hinders evaporation, leading to decreased heat elimination from the body, inducing a sensation of excess heat. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
