Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. 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.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
