Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young ones often do not realize the necessity to rest and replenish their fluids. Thirst is a delayed indication of dehydration - keeping hydrated, particularly in prolonged physical activity, is crucial.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.
