Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young ones generally face higher dangers than adults since they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface area compared totheir small bodies and increased heat production from their activities, the risks are heightened.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
