Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. 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.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.
