Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. 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.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. With a high level of moisture in the air, the evaporation process becomes less efficient, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently and resulting in a sensation of overheating. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.
