Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Children frequently underestimate the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is vital to stay hydrated, particularly during lengthy physical exercises.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. With excessive moisture in the atmosphere, the effectiveness of the evaporation process is decreased, causing the body to cool down less efficiently, leading to a sensation of overheating. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
