Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant 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.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. 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. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.
