Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to 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.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.
