Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. With an abundance of moisture present in the air, the process of evaporation becomes less effective, and the body fails to cool down as it should, leading to the sensation of overheating. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.
