Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. An individual's perception of weather can be influenced by a variety of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their degree of physical exertion. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
Through perspiration, the body has a natural mechanism to eliminate excessive heat via sweat evaporation. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.
