Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Children often fail to understand the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - hence, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during ongoing physical activities.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.
