Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Children commonly overlook the importance of rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst, being a delayed sign of dehydration, emphasizes the need to keep hydration up, especially during lengthy physical activities.
The body's innate mechanism to counteract overheating is through perspiration, as it leverages the cooling effects of sweat evaporation. 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. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.
