Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
The innate cooling system of the human body revolves around perspiration, with the evaporation of sweat being central to this process. 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. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.
