Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. 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 for babies and toddlers. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. Excessive relative humidity disturbs the body's typical cooling process by reducing evaporation, leading to a decrease in body cooling rate and an increase in the sensation of warmth. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.
