Continuous activity could precipitate heatstroke.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Children often fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst, being a late symptom of dehydration, underlines the importance of maintaining hydration, especially during ongoing physical activities.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. When the body's heat gain surpasses its removal capacity, body temperature starts to climb, leading to potential heat-related ailments.
