Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
