Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Juveniles are regularly less conscious of the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a tardy symptom of dehydration - hydration, especially during lengthy physical activities, should be maintained.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. Excessive relative humidity disturbs the body's typical cooling process by reducing evaporation, leading to a decrease in body cooling rate and an increase in the sensation of warmth. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
