Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. A person's impression of weather can be swayed by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Children regularly disregard the necessity to rest and replenish fluids. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, maintaining hydration, particularly during long-lasting physical activities, is essential.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.
