Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. The influence of weather is personal, with varied individuals experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical exertion levels. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young ones often ignore the need to take a break and drink fluids. Thirst is a late-stage symptom of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, particularly during extended physical activities, is crucial.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.
