Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. A person's impression of weather can be swayed 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 especially vital to children. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
When faced with excessive heat, the human body begins to perspire, utilizing the cooling benefits of sweat evaporation. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. Accumulating heat beyond the body's cooling measures leads to rising temperatures and potential ailments.
