Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important 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.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.
