Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Children are often less aware of the need to rest and re-hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - it's vital to remain hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. When relative humidity is heightened, it slows the rate of evaporation, thereby decreasing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a sensation of overheating. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
