Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. 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. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
When faced with excessive heat, the human body begins to perspire, utilizing the cooling benefits of sweat evaporation. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.
