Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Children often fail to understand the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - hence, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during ongoing physical activities.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
