Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
