Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. You should know that direct sun exposure can heighten weather effects, potentially elevating the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Children commonly overlook the importance of rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst, being a delayed sign of dehydration, emphasizes the need to keep hydration up, especially during lengthy physical activities.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
