Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Juveniles often do not understand the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a delayed symptom of dehydration - hence, it is vital to maintain hydration, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
Evaporating sweat is a key way the human body dispels excessive warmth, all thanks to the process of perspiration. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
