Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young ones regularly neglect the requirement for rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late stage of dehydration - so, it is necessary to keep hydrated, particularly during extended periods of physical exertion.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. When there is abundant moisture in the air, the body's cooling through the evaporation process becomes less effective, leading to the sensation of overheating. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
