Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Juveniles often do not understand the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a delayed symptom of dehydration - hence, it is vital to maintain hydration, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
