Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Be mindful that being in direct sunlight might mean feeling hotter, with the heat index rising by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.
