Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. 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 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.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
