Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Children often overlook the necessity for resting and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is critical to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. When there is an excess of moisture in the atmosphere, the efficiency of the evaporation process is lessened, leading to less efficient body cooling and a sensation of overheating. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.
