Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are quite important for children. Kids frequently ignore the importance of taking a break and rehydrating. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during long-lasting physical activities.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
