Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. 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.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.
