Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. 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.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
