Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Juveniles often do not understand the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a delayed symptom of dehydration - hence, it is vital to maintain hydration, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.
