Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
Perspiration, which is the evaporation of sweat, is a primary way the human body manages and dispels excessive warmth. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.
