Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important 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.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
