Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. 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.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
