Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
