Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Youngsters often neglect the necessity for rest and hydration. Thirst is a sign of advancing dehydration - thus the importance of maintaining hydration, specifically during long-lasting physical activities.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. 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. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
