Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. 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.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.
