Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Be mindful that being in direct sunlight might mean feeling hotter, with the heat index rising by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.
