Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. 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.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.
