Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Kids frequently ignore the importance of taking a break and rehydrating. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during long-lasting physical activities.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.
