Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. 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. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.
