Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Be mindful that being in direct sunlight might mean feeling hotter, with the heat index rising by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Children regularly disregard the necessity to rest and replenish fluids. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, maintaining hydration, particularly during long-lasting physical activities, is essential.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
