Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. 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.
