Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for 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.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.
