Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
Evaporating sweat is a key way the human body dispels excessive warmth, all thanks to the process of perspiration. When relative humidity is heightened, it slows the rate of evaporation, thereby decreasing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a sensation of overheating. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.
