Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Juveniles often do not understand the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a delayed symptom of dehydration - hence, it is vital to maintain hydration, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. With excessive moisture in the atmosphere, the effectiveness of the evaporation process is decreased, causing the body to cool down less efficiently, leading to a sensation of overheating. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.
