Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
One of the main methods the human body employs to cool down is by perspiring, as this process allows sweat to evaporate and remove excess heat. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.
