Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.
