Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. 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.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.
