Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Children frequently underestimate the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is vital to stay hydrated, particularly during lengthy physical exercises.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. When relative humidity is heightened, it slows the rate of evaporation, thereby decreasing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a sensation of overheating. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
