Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
When faced with excessive heat, the human body begins to perspire, utilizing the cooling benefits of sweat evaporation. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.
