Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.
