Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant 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.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
