Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Juveniles often do not understand the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a delayed symptom of dehydration - hence, it is vital to maintain hydration, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.
