Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.
