Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. The influence of weather is personal, with varied individuals experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical exertion levels. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Children frequently do not understand the need for recuperation and hydration. Thirst, being a late manifestation of dehydration, underlines the need to hydrate frequently, especially when engaging in prolonged physical exercises.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm.
