Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Children often fail to understand the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - hence, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during ongoing physical activities.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.
