Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.
