Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Children often do not understand the need to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - therefore, it is essential to stay hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
Evaporating sweat is a key way the human body dispels excessive warmth, all thanks to the process of perspiration. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
