Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge 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.
One of the main methods the human body employs to cool down is by perspiring, as this process allows sweat to evaporate and remove excess heat. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.
