Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Children often fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst, being a late symptom of dehydration, underlines the importance of maintaining hydration, especially during ongoing physical activities.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
