Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. 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 are primarily vital for children. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.
