Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.
