Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Kids often lack the knowledge about the necessity to take breaks and consume liquids. Thirst, as a late symptom of dehydration, necessitates the maintenance of hydration, particularly during enduring physical activities.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.
