Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Juveniles often do not understand the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a delayed symptom of dehydration - hence, it is vital to maintain hydration, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
When faced with excessive heat, the human body begins to perspire, utilizing the cooling benefits of sweat evaporation. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
