Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. Accumulating heat beyond the body's cooling measures leads to rising temperatures and potential ailments.
