Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. A person's impression of weather can be swayed by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Children frequently do not understand the need for recuperation and hydration. Thirst, being a late manifestation of dehydration, underlines the need to hydrate frequently, especially when engaging in prolonged physical exercises.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.
