Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. 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 of high significance for children. Children regularly disregard the necessity to rest and replenish fluids. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, maintaining hydration, particularly during long-lasting physical activities, is essential.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
