Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.
