Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. 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 highly important for children. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.
