Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. A person's impression of weather can be swayed by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Kids frequently fail to realize the necessity for resting and hydrating. Thirst is an advanced indication of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, especially during extended physical activities, becomes essential.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. With excessive moisture in the atmosphere, the effectiveness of the evaporation process is decreased, causing the body to cool down less efficiently, leading to a sensation of overheating. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.
