Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Youngsters often neglect the necessity for rest and hydration. Thirst is a sign of advancing dehydration - thus the importance of maintaining hydration, specifically during long-lasting physical activities.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. With excessive moisture in the atmosphere, the effectiveness of the evaporation process is decreased, causing the body to cool down less efficiently, leading to a sensation of overheating. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.
