Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. 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.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. Accumulating heat beyond the body's cooling measures leads to rising temperatures and potential ailments.
