Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Children often do not understand the need to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - therefore, it is essential to stay hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.
