Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Kids often lack the knowledge about the necessity to take breaks and consume liquids. Thirst, as a late symptom of dehydration, necessitates the maintenance of hydration, particularly during enduring physical activities.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
