Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. Be mindful that being in direct sunlight might mean feeling hotter, with the heat index rising by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. 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.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. An elevated level of relative humidity hinders evaporation, leading to decreased heat elimination from the body, inducing a sensation of excess heat. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.
