Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in.

Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Children commonly overlook the importance of rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst, being a delayed sign of dehydration, emphasizes the need to keep hydration up, especially during lengthy physical activities.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
