Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content.

Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young ones often ignore the need to take a break and drink fluids. Thirst is a late-stage symptom of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, particularly during extended physical activities, is crucial.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation.

As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.
