Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation.

Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Youngsters frequently overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is an advanced sign of dehydration - thereby highlighting the importance of keeping hydrated, particularly during long physical activities.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat.
