Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Children frequently underestimate the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is vital to stay hydrated, particularly during lengthy physical exercises.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.
