Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
