Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. 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.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.
