Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. 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 human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. With a high level of moisture in the air, the evaporation process becomes less efficient, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently and resulting in a sensation of overheating. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.
