Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. 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.
Perspiring is a crucial mechanism for the human body, allowing it to release excessive warmth through evaporating sweat. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.
