Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Children often fail to understand the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - hence, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during ongoing physical activities.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.
