Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Children frequently do not understand the need for recuperation and hydration. Thirst, being a late manifestation of dehydration, underlines the need to hydrate frequently, especially when engaging in prolonged physical exercises.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
