Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth.

Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Kids frequently fail to realize the necessity for resting and hydrating. Thirst is an advanced indication of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, especially during extended physical activities, becomes essential.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.
