Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
Perspiration is the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.
