<h2>Humid Heat</h2> <ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Humid heat occurs when temperatures are high and there's a lot of moisture in the air.&nbsp;</li><li class="ql-align-justify">In such conditions, sweat doesn't evaporate easily, making it difficult for the body to cool down.&nbsp;</li><li class="ql-align-justify">As a result, the temperature can feel hotter than it actually is in a dry environment.&nbsp;</li><li class="ql-align-justify">This perceived temperature is known as the heat index, which factors in both air temperature and relative humidity to describe how hot it feels to the body.&nbsp;</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Humid heat can lead to hyperthermia, where the body overheats because it can't effectively release heat.</li></ul> Dry Heat<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Dry heat occurs in environments with low humidity, often found in hot desert climates with minimal precipitation.&nbsp;</li><li class="ql-align-justify">The lack of moisture in the air allows water to evaporate rapidly, which can make temperatures feel cooler compared to humid conditions.&nbsp;</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Initially, dry heat may feel more tolerable because sweat evaporates quickly, providing some relief. However, it can also lead to faster dehydration.&nbsp;</li><li class="ql-align-justify">In dry air, not only does sweat evaporate rapidly from the skin, taking excess heat away, but moisture from saliva and breath also evaporates quickly, leading to the discomfort of "dry mouth."</li></ul>&nbsp;
