The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.
