Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are largely significant 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.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.
