Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Kids frequently ignore the importance of taking a break and rehydrating. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during long-lasting physical activities.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.
