Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. 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. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
The innate cooling system of the human body revolves around perspiration, with the evaporation of sweat being central to this process. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.
