Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. 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 critical for babies and toddlers. Kids frequently fail to realize the necessity for resting and hydrating. Thirst is an advanced indication of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, especially during extended physical activities, becomes essential.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. 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. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.
