Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. 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. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.
