Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception.

Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Young ones regularly neglect the requirement for rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late stage of dehydration - so, it is necessary to keep hydrated, particularly during extended periods of physical exertion.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down.

Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.
