Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. 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.
Perspiration is the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. When there is abundant moisture in the air, the body's cooling through the evaporation process becomes less effective, leading to the sensation of overheating. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.
