Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital 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.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
