Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Children often overlook the necessity for resting and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is critical to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
