Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. 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.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.
