Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.
