Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.
