Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.
