Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Juveniles often do not understand the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a delayed symptom of dehydration - hence, it is vital to maintain hydration, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.
