Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. With a high level of moisture in the air, the evaporation process becomes less efficient, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently and resulting in a sensation of overheating. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
