Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.
