Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. The impression of weather on a person can be swayed by additional aspects, including metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
