Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
When faced with excessive heat, the human body begins to perspire, utilizing the cooling benefits of sweat evaporation. When relative humidity is heightened, it slows the rate of evaporation, thereby decreasing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a sensation of overheating. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
