Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. 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. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.
