Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.
