Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.
