Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.
