Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat.

Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is critical to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body.

Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.
