Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.
