Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance 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.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.
