Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. It is essential to be conscious of the fact that direct sunlight can intensify the felt heat, leading to an elevation in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
Through perspiration, the body has a natural mechanism to eliminate excessive heat via sweat evaporation. 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. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.
