Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. When there is an excess of moisture in the atmosphere, the efficiency of the evaporation process is lessened, leading to less efficient body cooling and a sensation of overheating. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
