Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.
