Heat index

Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. A person's impression of weather can be swayed by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. 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. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.
