Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', 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. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant 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.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. 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. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
