Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.
