Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth.

Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Children frequently underestimate the importance of resting and drinking fluids. Thirst is a symptom of advanced dehydration - hence the need to hydrate regularly, especially during protracted physical exercises.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat.

Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
