Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Children regularly disregard the necessity to rest and replenish fluids. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, maintaining hydration, particularly during long-lasting physical activities, is essential.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.
