Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. 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 are particularly important for children. Children frequently do not understand the need for recuperation and hydration. Thirst, being a late manifestation of dehydration, underlines the need to hydrate frequently, especially when engaging in prolonged physical exercises.
Perspiration is the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. With excessive moisture in the atmosphere, the effectiveness of the evaporation process is decreased, causing the body to cool down less efficiently, leading to a sensation of overheating. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
