Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. 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.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
