Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.
