Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. When relative humidity is heightened, it slows the rate of evaporation, thereby decreasing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a sensation of overheating. Accumulating heat beyond the body's cooling measures leads to rising temperatures and potential ailments.
