Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. A person's impression of weather can be swayed by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.
