Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth.

Thirst is a delayed indication of dehydration - keeping hydrated, particularly in prolonged physical activity, is crucial.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling.

Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.
