Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. When there is an excess of moisture in the atmosphere, the efficiency of the evaporation process is lessened, leading to less efficient body cooling and a sensation of overheating. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.
