Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Children are often less aware of the need to rest and re-hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - it's vital to remain hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.
