Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are especially vital to children. 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.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.
