Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels.

Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Children often do not understand the need to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - therefore, it is essential to stay hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. When the body's heat gain surpasses its removal capacity, body temperature starts to climb, leading to potential heat-related ailments.
