Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. When the air holds a significant amount of moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process is decreased, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently, leading to the sensation of overheating. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.
