Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Youngsters often neglect the necessity for rest and hydration. Thirst is a sign of advancing dehydration - thus the importance of maintaining hydration, specifically during long-lasting physical activities.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.
