Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.Regarding the heat index, one should be aware it's determined by shaded settings and mild winds. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
For the human body, perspiration is the go-to method to regulate temperature, using sweat's evaporation to dissipate warmth. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
