Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. With excessive moisture in the atmosphere, the effectiveness of the evaporation process is decreased, causing the body to cool down less efficiently, leading to a sensation of overheating. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.
