Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.
