Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
When faced with excessive heat, the human body begins to perspire, utilizing the cooling benefits of sweat evaporation. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.
