Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values hold great significance to 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.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. When relative humidity is heightened, it slows the rate of evaporation, thereby decreasing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a sensation of overheating. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
