Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
When faced with excessive heat, the human body begins to perspire, utilizing the cooling benefits of sweat evaporation. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.
