Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
