Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Young ones often ignore the need to take a break and drink fluids. Thirst is a late-stage symptom of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, particularly during extended physical activities, is crucial.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
