Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Children often overlook the necessity for resting and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is critical to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. With a high level of moisture in the air, the evaporation process becomes less efficient, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently and resulting in a sensation of overheating. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.
