The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Children frequently underestimate the importance of resting and drinking fluids. Thirst is a symptom of advanced dehydration - hence the need to hydrate regularly, especially during protracted physical exercises.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.
