Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
For the human body, perspiration is the go-to method to regulate temperature, using sweat's evaporation to dissipate warmth. When there is an excess of moisture in the atmosphere, the efficiency of the evaporation process is lessened, leading to less efficient body cooling and a sensation of overheating. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.
