Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Children often fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst, being a late symptom of dehydration, underlines the importance of maintaining hydration, especially during ongoing physical activities.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. 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 absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.
