Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.
