Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
The body's innate mechanism to counteract overheating is through perspiration, as it leverages the cooling effects of sweat evaporation. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.
