Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Children regularly disregard the necessity to rest and replenish fluids. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, maintaining hydration, particularly during long-lasting physical activities, is essential.
The innate cooling system of the human body revolves around perspiration, with the evaporation of sweat being central to this process. Excessive relative humidity disturbs the body's typical cooling process by reducing evaporation, leading to a decrease in body cooling rate and an increase in the sensation of warmth. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.
