Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. It is essential to be conscious of the fact that direct sunlight can intensify the felt heat, leading to an elevation in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Juveniles often do not understand the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a delayed symptom of dehydration - hence, it is vital to maintain hydration, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. With a high level of moisture in the air, the evaporation process becomes less efficient, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently and resulting in a sensation of overheating. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.
