Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
Perspiration is the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
