Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth.

Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important 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.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
