Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. 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 hold particular significance for children. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.
