Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. 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.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.
