Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Children often overlook the necessity for resting and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is critical to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
