The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
