Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Children commonly overlook the importance of rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst, being a delayed sign of dehydration, emphasizes the need to keep hydration up, especially during lengthy physical activities.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.
