Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
