Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. The impression of weather on a person can be swayed by additional aspects, including metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.
