Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to 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.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. When the air holds a significant amount of moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process is decreased, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently, leading to the sensation of overheating. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.
