Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to 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.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. An elevated level of relative humidity hinders evaporation, leading to decreased heat elimination from the body, inducing a sensation of excess heat. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
