Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Juveniles often do not understand the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a delayed symptom of dehydration - hence, it is vital to maintain hydration, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.
