Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Children frequently do not understand the need for recuperation and hydration. Thirst, being a late manifestation of dehydration, underlines the need to hydrate frequently, especially when engaging in prolonged physical exercises.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. When there is an excess of moisture in the atmosphere, the efficiency of the evaporation process is lessened, leading to less efficient body cooling and a sensation of overheating. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
