Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. 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. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to 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.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.
