Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful 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 combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
