Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.
