Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Young ones regularly neglect the requirement for rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late stage of dehydration - so, it is necessary to keep hydrated, particularly during extended periods of physical exertion.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. When the air holds a significant amount of moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process is decreased, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently, leading to the sensation of overheating. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.
