Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Kids often lack the knowledge about the necessity to take breaks and consume liquids. Thirst, as a late symptom of dehydration, necessitates the maintenance of hydration, particularly during enduring physical activities.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.
