Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. 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. Be mindful that being in direct sunlight might mean feeling hotter, with the heat index rising by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Young ones often ignore the need to take a break and drink fluids. Thirst is a late-stage symptom of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, particularly during extended physical activities, is crucial.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
