Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. 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.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.
