Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. With excessive moisture in the atmosphere, the effectiveness of the evaporation process is decreased, causing the body to cool down less efficiently, leading to a sensation of overheating. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.
