Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air.

Heat index values hold particular significance for 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 human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
