Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Young ones often disregard the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst usually indicates advanced dehydration - hence, it is key to stay hydrated, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.
