Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. The influence of weather is personal, with varied individuals experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical exertion levels. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. 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 evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
