High temperatures, humidity cause greater risk for health dangers

Fri, 07/09/2021 - 5:18pm admin Summer time in Southern Illinois can be hot and humid. Sometimes, regardless of what the thermometer reads, it just feels hotter. Feels-like temperatures are calculated using the air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and an understanding of how the human body responds to heat and cold.  “When the body is hot, it sweats, says Duane Friend, a University of Illinois Extension energy and environment educator.  “Moisture on the skin surface evaporates, removing heat from the skin surface, which lowers the overall body temperature.  “If there is already a lot of moisture in the air, the rate of evaporation slows, which slows or stops that cooling. Body temperature continues to increase, placing the person at risk.”
