Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Children frequently underestimate the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is vital to stay hydrated, particularly during lengthy physical exercises.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.
