Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. 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 extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Young ones generally face higher dangers than adults since they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface area compared totheir small bodies and increased heat production from their activities, the risks are heightened.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.
