Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. 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 remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Youngsters frequently overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is an advanced sign of dehydration - thereby highlighting the importance of keeping hydrated, particularly during long physical activities.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.
