Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.
