Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. 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.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. 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. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
