Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. It is essential to be conscious of the fact that direct sunlight can intensify the felt heat, leading to an elevation in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young ones generally face higher dangers than adults since they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface area compared totheir small bodies and increased heat production from their activities, the risks are heightened.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
