Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for 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.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. With a lot of moisture in the air, the evaporation process is not as effective, and the body does not cool down as efficiently, creating a perception of overheating. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.
