Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. When there is an excess of moisture in the atmosphere, the efficiency of the evaporation process is lessened, leading to less efficient body cooling and a sensation of overheating. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.
