Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for 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.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
