Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. 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. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are highly important for children. Children are often less aware of the need to rest and re-hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - it's vital to remain hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. When the air holds a significant amount of moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process is decreased, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently, leading to the sensation of overheating. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.
