Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young ones often ignore the need to take a break and drink fluids. Thirst is a late-stage symptom of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, particularly during extended physical activities, is crucial.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.
