Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. 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 critical for babies and toddlers. Children frequently underestimate the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is vital to stay hydrated, particularly during lengthy physical exercises.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.
