A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
