Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. You should know that direct sun exposure can heighten weather effects, potentially elevating the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
Perspiration, which is the evaporation of sweat, is a primary way the human body manages and dispels excessive warmth. With an abundance of moisture present in the air, the process of evaporation becomes less effective, and the body fails to cool down as it should, leading to the sensation of overheating. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.
