Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. 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 human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
