Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
