Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. An individual's perception of weather can be influenced by a variety of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their degree of physical exertion. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young ones often ignore the need to take a break and drink fluids. Thirst is a late-stage symptom of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, particularly during extended physical activities, is crucial.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
