Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. When the air holds a significant amount of moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process is decreased, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently, leading to the sensation of overheating. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
