Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young ones often ignore the need to take a break and drink fluids. Thirst is a late-stage symptom of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, particularly during extended physical activities, is crucial.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. 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. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.
