Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Kids often lack the knowledge about the necessity to take breaks and consume liquids. Thirst, as a late symptom of dehydration, necessitates the maintenance of hydration, particularly during enduring physical activities.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.
