Prolonged activity may trigger heatstroke.Be informed that the heat index values are oriented around shady conditions and gentle breezes. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. 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. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.
