Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
The body's innate mechanism to counteract overheating is through perspiration, as it leverages the cooling effects of sweat evaporation. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
