Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. The impression of weather on a person can be swayed by additional aspects, including 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 largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. 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. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.
