Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Youngsters frequently overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is an advanced sign of dehydration - thereby highlighting the importance of keeping hydrated, particularly during long physical activities.
Humans rely on perspiration as a cooling mechanism, wherein the evaporating sweat counteracts excessive warmth. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
