Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. 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 critical to babies and toddlers. Juveniles are regularly less conscious of the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a tardy symptom of dehydration - hydration, especially during lengthy physical activities, should be maintained.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
