Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Juveniles often do not understand the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a delayed symptom of dehydration - hence, it is vital to maintain hydration, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.
