Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. 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.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. An elevated level of relative humidity hinders evaporation, leading to decreased heat elimination from the body, inducing a sensation of excess heat. Accumulating heat beyond the body's cooling measures leads to rising temperatures and potential ailments.
