Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Children often overlook the necessity for resting and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is critical to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.
