Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Young ones often do not realize the necessity to rest and replenish their fluids. Thirst is a delayed indication of dehydration - keeping hydrated, particularly in prolonged physical activity, is crucial.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.
