Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Children regularly disregard the necessity to rest and replenish fluids. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, maintaining hydration, particularly during long-lasting physical activities, is essential.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.
