Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Accumulating heat beyond the body's cooling measures leads to rising temperatures and potential ailments.
