Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Be mindful that being in direct sunlight might mean feeling hotter, with the heat index rising by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Children often do not understand the need to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - therefore, it is essential to stay hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
