Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Children often fail to understand the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - hence, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during ongoing physical activities.
Through perspiration, the body has a natural mechanism to eliminate excessive heat via sweat evaporation. With a lot of moisture in the air, the evaporation process is not as effective, and the body does not cool down as efficiently, creating a perception of overheating. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.
