Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. 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 hold particular importance for children. Children frequently underestimate the importance of resting and drinking fluids. Thirst is a symptom of advanced dehydration - hence the need to hydrate regularly, especially during protracted physical exercises.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
