Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. 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.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.
