Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Children often overlook the necessity for resting and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is critical to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
