Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.
