Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. When there is an excess of moisture in the atmosphere, the efficiency of the evaporation process is lessened, leading to less efficient body cooling and a sensation of overheating. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
