Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. 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 highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.
