Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.
