Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
One of the main methods the human body employs to cool down is by perspiring, as this process allows sweat to evaporate and remove excess heat. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.
