Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Kids frequently ignore the importance of taking a break and rehydrating. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during long-lasting physical activities.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.
