Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. 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. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.
