Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.
