Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth.

Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
