Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Children frequently do not comprehend the need for rest and hydration. Thirst is an advanced stage of dehydration - staying hydrated, especially during extended physical exercises, is essential.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.
