Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance 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.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.
