The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.
