Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.
