Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. 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 of high significance for children. Kids frequently ignore the importance of taking a break and rehydrating. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during long-lasting physical activities.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. When there is abundant moisture in the air, the body's cooling through the evaporation process becomes less effective, leading to the sensation of overheating. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
