Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels.

Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Children frequently underestimate the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is vital to stay hydrated, particularly during lengthy physical exercises.
Perspiration, which is the evaporation of sweat, is a primary way the human body manages and dispels excessive warmth. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.
