Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. An individual's perception of weather can be influenced by a variety of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their degree of physical exertion. 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 are largely significant for babies and toddlers. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. When the air holds a significant amount of moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process is decreased, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently, leading to the sensation of overheating. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.
