Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young ones often ignore the need to take a break and drink fluids. Thirst is a late-stage symptom of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, particularly during extended physical activities, is crucial.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.
