Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Children frequently underestimate the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is vital to stay hydrated, particularly during lengthy physical exercises.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.
