Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Be mindful that being in direct sunlight might mean feeling hotter, with the heat index rising by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. 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. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.
