This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Kids frequently ignore the importance of taking a break and rehydrating. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during long-lasting physical activities.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.
