Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. 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 particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.
