Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. 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 particularly relevant to children. Children often overlook the necessity for resting and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is critical to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.
