Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. 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 children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
