Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Kids frequently fail to realize the necessity for resting and hydrating. Thirst is an advanced indication of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, especially during extended physical activities, becomes essential.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. With excessive moisture in the atmosphere, the effectiveness of the evaporation process is decreased, causing the body to cool down less efficiently, leading to a sensation of overheating. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.
