Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. 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.
When faced with excessive heat, the human body begins to perspire, utilizing the cooling benefits of sweat evaporation. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
