Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. With excessive moisture in the atmosphere, the effectiveness of the evaporation process is decreased, causing the body to cool down less efficiently, leading to a sensation of overheating. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.
