Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity.

Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.
