Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Children commonly overlook the importance of rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst, being a delayed sign of dehydration, emphasizes the need to keep hydration up, especially during lengthy physical activities.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. When there is abundant moisture in the air, the body's cooling through the evaporation process becomes less effective, leading to the sensation of overheating. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.
