Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
