Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Children are often less aware of the need to rest and re-hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - it's vital to remain hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.
