Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely 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.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.
