Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together.

Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off.

Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
