Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
