Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
