Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. An individual's perception of weather can be influenced by a variety of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their degree of physical exertion. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Children often overlook the necessity for resting and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is critical to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.
