Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 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.
Perspiration is the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.
