Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. 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.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. 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. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.
