Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. 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 cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.
