Continuous activity could precipitate heatstroke.The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young ones often do not realize the necessity to rest and replenish their fluids. Thirst is a delayed indication of dehydration - keeping hydrated, particularly in prolonged physical activity, is crucial.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.
