Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. 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.
Through perspiration, the body has a natural mechanism to eliminate excessive heat via sweat evaporation. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.
