The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. With excessive moisture in the atmosphere, the effectiveness of the evaporation process is decreased, causing the body to cool down less efficiently, leading to a sensation of overheating. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
