Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Children often fail to understand the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - hence, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during ongoing physical activities.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
