Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. An individual's perception of weather can be influenced by a variety of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their degree of physical exertion. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.
