Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Children frequently underestimate the importance of resting and drinking fluids. Thirst is a symptom of advanced dehydration - hence the need to hydrate regularly, especially during protracted physical exercises.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. An elevated level of relative humidity hinders evaporation, leading to decreased heat elimination from the body, inducing a sensation of excess heat. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.
