Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Children often fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst, being a late symptom of dehydration, underlines the importance of maintaining hydration, especially during ongoing physical activities.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.
