Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.
