Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.
