Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.
