Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. When the air holds a significant amount of moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process is decreased, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently, leading to the sensation of overheating. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
