Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.
