Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
