Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Juveniles are regularly less conscious of the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a tardy symptom of dehydration - hydration, especially during lengthy physical activities, should be maintained.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
