Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
The innate cooling system of the human body revolves around perspiration, with the evaporation of sweat being central to this process. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
