Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.
