Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. 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 babies and toddlers. 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.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. When there is an excess of moisture in the atmosphere, the efficiency of the evaporation process is lessened, leading to less efficient body cooling and a sensation of overheating. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.
