Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Children often do not understand the need to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - therefore, it is essential to stay hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.
