Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Children are often less aware of the need to rest and re-hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - it's vital to remain hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.
