Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.
