Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. 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.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.
