Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital 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.
One of the main methods the human body employs to cool down is by perspiring, as this process allows sweat to evaporate and remove excess heat. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.
