Heatstroke could follow prolonged activity.Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. When the body's heat gain surpasses its removal capacity, body temperature starts to climb, leading to potential heat-related ailments.
