Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Children often fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst, being a late symptom of dehydration, underlines the importance of maintaining hydration, especially during ongoing physical activities.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.
