Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. 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, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. When there is abundant moisture in the air, the body's cooling through the evaporation process becomes less effective, leading to the sensation of overheating. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.
