Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Be mindful that being in direct sunlight might mean feeling hotter, with the heat index rising by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.
