Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.
