Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.
