Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Kids frequently ignore the importance of taking a break and rehydrating. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during long-lasting physical activities.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.
