Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. An individual's perception of weather can be influenced by a variety of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their degree of physical exertion. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Children often overlook the necessity for resting and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is critical to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
Perspiring is a crucial mechanism for the human body, allowing it to release excessive warmth through evaporating sweat. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.
