Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young ones generally face higher dangers than adults since they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface area compared totheir small bodies and increased heat production from their activities, the risks are heightened.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.
