Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. Be mindful that being in direct sunlight might mean feeling hotter, with the heat index rising by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.
