Heat index

Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely 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.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
