Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. 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.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. When the body's heat gain surpasses its removal capacity, body temperature starts to climb, leading to potential heat-related ailments.
