Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. The impression of weather on a person can be swayed by additional aspects, including metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. 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.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
