Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Children frequently underestimate the importance of resting and drinking fluids. Thirst is a symptom of advanced dehydration - hence the need to hydrate regularly, especially during protracted physical exercises.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.
