A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.

Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
