Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely 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.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.
