Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. With an abundance of moisture present in the air, the process of evaporation becomes less effective, and the body fails to cool down as it should, leading to the sensation of overheating. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.
