Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young ones often disregard the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst usually indicates advanced dehydration - hence, it is key to stay hydrated, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
When faced with excessive heat, the human body begins to perspire, utilizing the cooling benefits of sweat evaporation. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.
