Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Children commonly overlook the importance of rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst, being a delayed sign of dehydration, emphasizes the need to keep hydration up, especially during lengthy physical activities.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
