Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth.

Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.
