Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. A person's impression of weather can be swayed by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
Perspiring is a crucial mechanism for the human body, allowing it to release excessive warmth through evaporating sweat. When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
