Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth.

Heat index values are of high significance for children. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
Perspiring is a crucial mechanism for the human body, allowing it to release excessive warmth through evaporating sweat. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
