Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.
