Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. 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 highly important for children. Youngsters frequently overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is an advanced sign of dehydration - thereby highlighting the importance of keeping hydrated, particularly during long physical activities.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. An elevated level of relative humidity hinders evaporation, leading to decreased heat elimination from the body, inducing a sensation of excess heat. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
