Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.
