Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. With a high level of moisture in the air, the evaporation process becomes less efficient, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently and resulting in a sensation of overheating. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.
