Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. 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.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
