Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.
